Chapter 9: Safety
When children first begin to crawl and walk, we often pay a lot of attention to their safety. As a child learns to move around, he also learns to avoid things that might harm him. Children who can see can avoid many dangers. But you need to be extra careful if a child cannot see well.
There are many things you can do to make your home safer and to teach your child about hazards. And by working together with people in your community, you can make your village or neighborhood safer for your child and others - often these changes will benefit many people.
To help your child move about the house safely
Cover sharp corners on furniture, cupboards, and objects. Remember,
not all dangerous corners and edges are at floor level.
Try to keep furniture and objects in the same place, both inside and
outside your home. Tell your child if you move something.
Note: Any organisation or person wishing to copy, reproduce or adapt any or all part of the book for the promotion of community eye care and for public welfare without commercial benefit is encouraged to do so, subject to the written permission obtained and acknowledged in the printed copy.
